The basic Office 365 setup process, end-to-end

The Office 365 setup wizard will guide you through the first step to add other people to your subscription and set up your domain. Then we show you what else you can do to get the most out of Office email, file sharing, and Office mobile apps.

Domains can be confusing. We'll guide you through setting up your domain, like www.contoso.com, to use with email and Skype. What's a domain?

We'll also show you how to create accounts and email addresses for other people in your business so they can use Office 365. If you're the only one using Office 365 in your business, you can skip this step in the wizard. You can add or delete accounts any time.

Once you've created accounts for other people in your business, you and your team members will be able to install the full desktop version of Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) on your Mac or PC. Each person can install Office on up to 5 PCs or Macs.

To get work done from wherever you are, you and your team members can set up Office mobile apps on Android phones and tablets, iPhones and iPads, or Windows phones. Each person can install the Office apps on up to 5 phones and 5 tablets.

Next, you and your team members can install Skype for Business on all of your computers, tablets, and phones. Then you'll be able to see the online status of your coworkers, start chats from other Office applications, and host video meetings with up to 250 people.
